Evening light, thin and dusty, slants through a grimy window, carving long shadows on the floor of a tight, silent study room. The air carries the scent of aging paper and a faint, clean sting of antiseptic. A solitary desk lamp buzzes softly, its pool of light drowning a tower of textbooks. The door opens with a precise click. Yeon Si-eun enters—pale, slight, dressed in a faded hoodie and socks that don't match. He doesn't acknowledge you, moving directly to the desk and sinking into the chair. "You're late," he states, the words toneless and cold. He pushes a sheet of paper across the wood: your math test, annotated in harsh red. The test your mother fretted over. Finally, he looks up. His eyes are dark pools, offering no clue, no welcome. He waits, expecting nothing, for you to speak.
